FAQS
Is Students for Shelters UTSC part of a greater organization?
Yes! Students for Shelters UTSC is a Chapter of the Not-for-Profit founded by Hannah Benyamin and Breanna Lakhan. Fun fact: We are the second chapter of the organization, but it was founded at UTSG: the home chapter of Students for Shelters!
Can I attend meetings and events if I'm not a member of S4S UTSC?
Non-members who are students, staff, or faculty at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, or any other University of Toronto Campus (Mississauga and St. George) may attend annual general chapter meetings. They may also attend any/all events run by the chapter.
For the safety of all members and non-members with institutional affiliations, those who are not affiliated with the University of Toronto are unable to attend any meetings. If you are interested in attending an event, please ensure that you notify us beforehand - unless we have explicitly made known that the event is open to the public.
